U.S. Trade Data Unavailable Amid Government Shutdown

VIENNA (DTN) — The monthly report on U.S. international trade in goods and services for August by the Bureau of Economic Analysis will not be published today (10/7) as the federal government shutdown entered its seventh day.

“Due to a lapse in appropriations, this website is not being updated,” the bureau announced in a note published on bea.gov on October 1.

The federal government went into shutdown after the U.S. Congress failed to pass appropriations bills or a continuing resolution to fund government agencies before the start of the new fiscal year on October 1.
